Correct Answer
B. 370,000Explanation
Based on the information given, Vermont produced 60,000 more gallons of maple syrup than the combined total of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Since the exact combined total is not provided, we cannot determine the individual production of each state. Therefore, the only information we have is that Vermont produced 60,000 more gallons than the combined total. So, the amount produced by Vermont must be higher than the highest possible combined total, which is 310,000 gallons. Therefore, the answer is 370,000 gallons.Rate this question:

- A.
4 hamburger combos and no chicken sandwich combos
- B.
2 hamburger combos and 2 chicken sandwich combos
- C.
1 hamburger combo and 3 chicken sandwich combos
- D.
No hamburger combos and 4 chicken sandwich combos
Correct Answer
C. 1 hamburger combo and 3 chicken sandwich combosExplanation
Jenna and her three friends ordered a total of four combo meals for lunch. Since the total cost of lunch was $16.50, and the cost of a hamburger combo is $3.75, the cost of the hamburger combos would be 1 * $3.75 = $3.75. The remaining cost of $16.50 - $3.75 = $12.75 would be the cost of the chicken sandwich combos. Since the cost of a chicken sandwich combo is $4.25, the number of chicken sandwich combos would be $12.75 / $4.25 = 3. Therefore, they ordered 1 hamburger combo and 3 chicken sandwich combos.Rate this question:
